Prognosis:!! The water temp is perfect for the trout so they are feeding, this combined with a?? (huge inventory) of trout its time to come up and catch your limit.. The bigger trout are working the shore lines. "Lighting" and "Thunder" could be on the end of your line.?? Try trolling with gold Panther Martins and Rooster Tails. With water temps on the rise start looking for the pre spawn bass.?? Water Temp 56-64 deg. Please feel free to ask our staff any questions you may have.??
